US and Germany are the main opponents of Ukraine's accession to NATO, French President Emmanuel Macron said before the alliance's 75th anniversary summit in Washington, DPA reported, quoted by BTA.
Macron drew attention to the "strong opposition" of the USA and Germany for a possible invitation to Ukraine to join the North Atlantic Alliance. "Ultimately, the decision to invite Ukraine to join NATO will be made by the allies," he said.
The French president also recalled Kiev's irritation at the lack of such an invitation at the previous NATO summit in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius. "Ukrainians were quite irritated when they came to the conclusion that the door was open, but not that much. And I think the scenario for the Washington summit is the same," Macron added, thereby indirectly dashing Ukrainian hopes.
